Moding your cell phone, AND using their network would be illegal, in fact, going to Radio Shack and building your own cell phone from scratch and using their network, without permission would be just as illegal. Many people do mod cell their cell phones and mimic other cell phones to avoid paying. It is clearly illegal. However, moding your cell phone, and using it as a Linux server would not be illegal, as long as you stayed off thier network.
I agree, The floresent lights so popular in work environments drive me nuts, I have turned to bringing in a desk light, and putting a huge bulb in it so that the flicker is less noticable. My headache's went away.
If I get a headache watching movies in the new format I will stop going.
Can you tell me how to get a hold of the Nissan Computer company? I know it's located in Raleigh NC USA and I thought that I could find it by typing NISSANUSA.COM. But instead I got a Japanease Car company? What gives you the right to highjack this name?
Could you e-mail me the link to the Nissan Computer company? BTW I checked nissan computer.com but I think someone is cybersquatting on that name, trying to convince Mr Uzi to pay them for it. Any thoughts?
The camera is color blind, only if you make it so. The system could possibly increase the likelihood of reporting something as violent because of the skin color.
What if an ATM had the option of dishing out bills in either $20 or $5, and a radio station annouced that the ATM at 34th and Lancaster had $20's in the tray that should have $5's. There would be a line of people taking out $15.
Certainly you could see that this would not be responsible, and those responsible should be punished.
In Philadelphia there is a resturant attached to the Spectrum (venue for conerts, circus, minor league hockey). There is a stair way leading up to the inside arena at which point you have to show your ticket. There is also a door that leads to a hallway that leads to the interior stadium. There is no guard at the door, you do not have to show your ticket. If I use that door, I think it is clear that I am stealing. Just as if I crashed the gate. But is telling someone else about the door stealing. Many of the agruements about no real property being lost apply.
What if there is a 'Do not enter' sign on the door?
What if the door is locked, but pushing opens the door anyway?
Just be carefull what you check out, the FBI can and will use it against you.
In my county all the libraries have some books on tape/CD but they went out of their way to build one big collection at the main branch. So if your neigborhood library does not have a good selection, make sure and ask if there is another branch that might have more.
Most universities have placement centers that will help you with your resume, and job search even years after you graduate.
Try your old school. It never hurts to e-mail a copy to an english teacher you liked from either high school or college.
Another tip I have is I keep an eight page version of my resume that has an extesive description of every job I have had, along with phone numbers of contacts. When I start a job search I add my current info and then cut and paste a realvant resume.
This is the same argument many users of casual drugs use. It is obvious to them that pot is not as harmful as those 'Brain on Drugs' commercials, so they figure everything they hear is B*ll$h1t.
Certainly it was used to justify all the drinking that went on during proabition.
I believe the Free vrs Paid analogy could be served by comparing software (especially operating systems) to highways.
Are you getting a better service because you pay for the Turnpike? Or are the Freeways just as good?
Fact is you have to evaluate each on its own. There is a cost in time and money for using the Fee Based Highway (Time at toll boths and the money spent), but you genereally get there quicker. But not always.
If only we could moderate this story down for being wrong.
The Gov't should not stop companies from being able to distribute my info any more than they should be able to stop me from distributing information about a company.

IT is an mechanical walking device

What is 'IT'?

I propose that it is a walker, such that you strap one to each leg/foot and it helps you walk taking very big steps. They communicate using infrared to time their steps. As each foot comes to the ground the device compresses and then explodes out, pushing you forward. You could with a small amount of energy (yours and the machine's) move at 20 m.p.h. taking 10 to 20' steps as you go.
After I got my first year end review and raise I submitted my resume on the internet requesting 30% more than my new salary. They saw my resume on the internet and tried to confront me about it. I commented 'Hey you just adjusted my salary so that it is fair. No one would pay me 30% more than I am worth.' They asked to be kept informed.
I receved an offer and they countered.
Since then the raises have been big enough that no one shows interest when I request 30% more than my company is giving me. Maybe next year I will try 20%.

In every task there are two options: You may think you will be successful, or you may think you will not be successful. Either way you are probably right.
If you could improve your ability to do any one thing, What would it be?
I saw your concert in Philly and was surprized to see all the extra people on stage. I felt like the group did not mesh as well as when it was just the two of you.
Was this a one tour thing or do you plan to keep the extra members?
Besides the shake up when that one guy climbed up on stage, it felt like you guys were not as energenic as when it was just the two of you.
The songs were all there, but the energy was missing. Even the croud seemed quiet.
I always thought it would be easier to have a portal like Yahoo create a white list, rather than try to delete all of the stuff that is not good.
Or how about a.kids for stuff that is ok for kids??

There are many local offices that you can run for that will let you keep your job. Start with 'Election Official', you only have to work three or four days every couple years (election day, primary day, and one or two other days, depending on your specific duties). Most of these do not pay anything, but you do get to go to the post election party and you will become familar with the other offices available.
Finally if you are motivated by money and are not willing to break the law for it, then political office is probably not for you. (but then again neither is teaching children, nursing, being a judge [good money but not as much as a corprate or private lawyer], coaching, or being a fireman, but most of those jobs are filled with people who could make more money if they wanted)

First: Its been said 'Why vote for someone that has no chance of winning?' - well if enough people vote for those canidates this year, in four years maybe they will be perceived as having a chance of winning. A 3rd party is probably going to have to break the 5% threshold before they break the 25%. If you make any one of the 3rd parties closer to 5% then you are not wasting your vote, you are simply making a long term investment.
Second: If you vote for one of the two major parties. Your voice is one in millions. If you find a 3rd party that you like, you voice becomes one in thousands! It seems to me that that would make it more valuable.
Finally: I vote Libertarian, because I like their ideas and I want to give them my voice. But if they ever become a serious contender I will definatly reconsider who I am voting for.
Thanks,
Mark

A webpage is essensially a billboard you can create out of mid-air. One page can house dozens of 'advertising' links or promotions, and it doesn't take up any space in our physical world.
Don't confuse very little space with no space. The space it takes up is on some form of media with zeros and ones. Harddrives (storage devices) fill up. There is a limit, but since its potential to grow is great, it may seem like there is no limit. We already carry personal data storage devices, and they fill up. Otherwise I would have downloaded the web to my palm. Advertisements and all.

Just because its growing very fast does not mean it has no limit. When a new type of cod is introduced, it often sweeps not only through the existing cod comunity. It also sweeps through new communities where the old cod could not exist. Here now information is finding its way into other areas that had never help information before. That does not imply that there is not limit to its reaches. Eventually the cod fills all the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. but it is still water based. A later improvement of the cod will be required to conqure land. Another example would be the African Bee in North America. It is spreading realtivly unchecked. But it will never make it to the point that it is everywhere.

What if my XBox breaks?
Would I be allowed to dismantle it and reuse the parts? Maybe make a fish bowl out of it?
I think that those from MS would say NO.
I don't think they would even what me recyclilng it? I wonder, do they have a reclaimation department?
